Btene:veun paper questions the wisdom of the Dominion Government's expenditures upon Indian industrial schools in the Nortbwe•.t, as those insti- tutions are at present manage1 . It is alleged that the industrial school at Battteford has tee teachers and emp loyeee, whose annual etipende amount in the aggregate to $4,000, brides board, fuel, light, etc., amOuntine to „3.000. About forty Indian pupils attend this school. These have to be clothed and fed, while the school buildings coat the governme,tt over $30,000, and the Northwest paper before referred to says that the forty pupils conld be, sent to any college, uni- versity or echool in Canada for half what it costs t, maintain mud educate them at Battteford. Yet it seems that the gov- ernment, or rather Mr. Dewduey, has decided tobuild another sahool for Indian children at Regina. It is alleged that a comparison of the Indian boys on the re- serves with those attending the Battle - ford school shows that the former stand head and shoulders above the others, so far as moral ohmmeter and good conduct is concerned, and that the young aborgines who will shortly be turned ons of the so- called industrial school will be less able to battle with the world than those raised upon the reserves. IN his annual report the third Assist- ant Postmaster-Geueral of the United States recommends that instead of being given a franking privilege members of Congress be allowed a certain sum of money for postal expenses. This would be a substantial reform, not only in the United States, but in Canada. In the United States the legislators who bane franking privileges are inthe habit not only of franking all their public and pri- vate oorrespondenoo and that of their personal and political friends but of their party organizations. In Canada the legislatorsand employees who havefrnnk- ing privileges not only do vary much the same thing, but, unless they aro realigned by public rumor, they are in the habit of sending by mail, under their franks, any- thing they may want to transmit, from a shirt front to a piano. The piano is, doubtless, an exaggeration, but the public world not be at all surprised it told that the expense of the franking eyetem is one serious obstacle to the reduction of our postal rates from six to two cents an ounce. The franking system is, on the face of it, simply a mean and petty form of boodling, injuring, first, those who are demeaned by it, and next, and, through them, the public manhood. It should be replaced by an honest and legitimate sys- tem without delay.—Ex. Tor. Couadian Pacific Railway Com- pany end the Dominion Government have triumphed in the matter of the Red River Valley Railway. Heel the Manitoban Government not been obstructed by these monopoly confederatesthe competing lino would have been built by the end of the present month, and farmers west of Win- nipeg, at far Portage la Prairie, would have had 0.'•e enefit of competitive rates and improve and additional service. The Canadian Pacifica was desirous, how- ever, of exerting from the farmers, who haveoalyhad two good crops within half - a -dozen yeare, every cent possible on the transportation of their grain, and for this reason a monopoly until neat summer was neceusary to them, The Dominion Government, although it had, cm behalf of the people of Canada, bought off the Canadian Pacific Railway Company from its work of obstruction by guaranteeing a loan of fifteen millions of dollars, hacked up the Company in its display of bad faith. For some time the work on the Red River road has been hindered or Method by the Canadian Paoiflc, with the aid of the Dominion Government, and now that winter has conte o11 the work Cannot be carried on, and the Govern- ment has ordered the suspension of the construction until next spring. The farmers of the North-west will be the sufferers. Tna American Cotton Combine appears to be able to carry on its operations in a mush more stieoeesfnl manner than its Canadian confrere. The average duties levied on imported cotton goods by the present tariff of the 'United States is thirty-nine einety.nine.hnndtedtbs per cont., and during the last year the earn - Inge of the Fall River Mills was between twenty and thirty-four per cent. on their, probably, well.watered capital stools, Tb Wits aorpornr;3cls lilt,, this which declared that if the Mills' bill, which reduced the tariff taxation on cotton by ninety.twO oats ,u the hundred dollars, became law they would be compelled to shut dew. While the menufactr rcrsare making from twenty to thirty-four per cont. on their capital what are their workers, for whose' 00010 ono and benefit the tariff exists, Melting? A living so devoid of every. thing that makes life good or pleasant that they are sinking steadily in the settle of humanity is perhaps lordly worth the purchase, and certainly few Ameri- cans get their living thus, fox the great majority of the factory employees are foreigners who go almost straight from Castle Gordon to the workshops and fax- tories, in which they thereafter spend the miserable remnant of a poor life, ' These workers have to buy mot only the it cotton but a Large portion of- their other necessaries at the monopoly prices Bich pay such grand dividends. ihau'on County anti's.
